In a delightful surprise for Mumbai residents, veteran actress and Mathura MP Hema Malini celebrated the dramatic facelift of Irla Road on social media. Posting vivid before-and-after style images on Instagram, the BJP leader marveled at the spotless streets and encroachment-free footpaths she encountered during her drive on Thursday.
‘What a change! I even asked my driver if we were on the correct route,’ Malini shared, capturing the shock of seeing clear shopfronts and bustling pedestrians enjoying safe walkways. The once-overcrowded area now breathes easy, with locals appreciating the newfound order and accessibility.
She showered praise on BJP MLA Amit Satam, whose tireless work made this possible. Freshly named BJP Mumbai president, Satam’s hands-on approach exemplifies effective governance at the grassroots level. Malini urged authorities to keep up the momentum, ensuring long-term upkeep.
Since entering politics with BJP in 2014, the ‘Dream Girl’ has championed urban renewal causes through her active online presence. Her illustrious career spans blockbusters such as Dream Girl, Sholay, and The Burning Train, cementing her as a timeless icon alongside husband Dharmendra and daughters Esha and Ahana.
Irla’s success story highlights the power of dedicated representation. As Mumbai grapples with infrastructure woes, such local triumphs offer hope and a roadmap for replication across the city. Malini’s endorsement underscores how celebrities in politics can amplify real community wins.
